At St George’s we are committed to giving our pupils a diverse academic and cultural experience that stimulates a lifelong interest in, and thirst for, learning.

Whilst our core syllabus is designed to be well balanced, flexible and academically challenging, we take great care to tailor teaching and learning to meet individual needs. Our small class sizes are one of our greatest assets, allowing our teachers to stretch the very brightest and provide plenty of support for those who need it, enabling every pupil to recognise their full potential. Expectations are, therefore, high for all of our pupils with each one encouraged and, most importantly, supported, to do their very best.

All of the staff here at St George’s are specialists in their academic fields and, collectively, strive for the very best for our pupils. By nurturing their love of learning, their academic potential and their individual talents, we successfully develop happy, well balanced and resilient young women; Confident, Capable and Connected to the world beyond our school.

CURRICULUM

GCSE

A LEVEL

While most pupils currently take nine or ten GCSE subjects, each pupil is advised individually as to the appropriate number to take, considering her strengths and weaknesses and any regular commitments

Most girls study three A Level subjects in the Sixth Form and will also complete the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). A few girls will take a fourth subject. In most cases, this will be Further Mathematics or a second language in the case of a girl who is bilingual. In addition, the Sixth Form follow an Enrichment Programme based around four themes: British Values, Healthy Lives, Positive Relationships and Futures with workshops on Diversity built into the programme. They also continue with compulsory PE.

to co-curricular activities, such as Sport, Music and Drama. We believe that it is better to aim for quality rather than quantity, as good grades are essential for university applications and future career opportunities.

All girls take English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Science (as two or three GCSEs), a Modern Foreign Language and a Humanity (chosen from Geography, History and Religious Studies). In addition, girls usually choose two further subjects: courses offered include a second Humanity, a second Modern Foreign Language, Art, Computer Science, Drama, Food Preparation and Nutrition, Latin, Music, Physical Education and Textiles. Girls also follow a course in Study Skills, PE and PSHE.

A Level subjects offered are: Art, Biology, Business, Chemistry, Computer Science, Drama, Economics, English Literature, Further Mathematics, Geography, History, History of Art, Mathematics, Modern Languages (French, Spanish and other languages by arrangement), Music, Photography, Physical Education, Physics, Politics, Psychology, Religious Studies and Textiles.

St George’s is a place where girls flourish academically, creatively, physically and morally; where risks can be taken, lessons are learnt, and challenges are welcomed.

UNIVERSITY LIFE

Further Information Booklet 2024 entry_single pages.indd 12

07/09/2023 14:39

83%

of leavers, on average, achieved their first or insurance choice of university place

In 2023, girls from St George’s secured a number of places at selective universities including the Universities of Durham, Bristol, Edinburgh and Exeter.

In the past three years, Georgians have also gone on to continue their studies at the University of the Arts, London and the Condé Nast College of Fashion and Design. Alongside Medicine at King's College London, PPE at Oxford and Environmental Geoscience at Durham, Georgians have applied to universities around the world gaining places at New York University, Iowa University, the University of Tokyo and Queen’s University (Canada) amongst many others.

Whilst university remains the first choice for most St George’s leavers, we support girls with ambitions in all fields. Whether their option is a professional cookery course, finding a job in a legal firm or taking a gap year, we want all our leavers to carve their own path, free from broader societal expectations, and we take great pride in our Sixth Form culture in which no horizon is too broad.

Teachers in the Sixth Form tutor team, as well as the Senior Leadership Team, are involved in ensuring that the experience of senior girls makes the transition to life after school as successful and straightforward as possible.

07/09/2023 14:40

We believe that school does not end with the last lesson of the day and that enrichment out of the classroom is a very powerful part of our pupils’ education.

In addition to the regular clubs, academic clinics and educational trips on offer to the girls, St George’s offers a wealth of opportunities to broaden the girls’ cultural horizons.

Every girl performs in the House music competition, they collectively raise money and awareness for good causes including three charities for which the girls vote annually, as well as having the opportunity to work on their public speaking, compete for the school in sport and perform on stage.

Pupils also enjoy formal dinners and events with staff, parents and pupils from other schools. These are important rites of passage that young women cannot experience in a classroom, but are important to the development of their character. We value our links with other schools, including boys’ schools, and we are proud of the philanthropic work that our girls are increasingly doing within the local community.

Opportunities for further enrichment include: SPORT: Netball, Lacrosse, Swimming, Football, Athletics, Tennis, Pilates, Yoga, Zumba, Softball, Cricket, Badminton, Handball, Futsal, Cross Country, Strength and Conditioning and more.

PERFORMING ARTS: Drama, Year 7 Choir, Chapel Choir, Open Mic Nights, Flute Group, Jazz Band, Music Theory, String Group, Acro, Contemporary Dance, Modern/Street Dance, Orchestra, Ballet, Pointe, Tap. OTHER: Art, Amnesty International, MUN, Current Affairs, Psychology, Mock Bar Trial, Foreign Language Film, Art, Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, Life Drawing, Board Games, Textiles, Chess, Computing, Science Club, Tycoon Enterprise, History of Art, Cultures and Diversity Club, Big Ideas Film, Cookery, Gardening Club and many more.

TAILORED BOARDING

20

Further Information Booklet 2024 entry_single pages.indd 20

07/09/2023 14:40

A unique boarding structure built to provide your daughter with an experience that truly suits her needs.

In addition to the traditional full boarding and day places, St George’s offers girls the option of boarding four, five or six nights a week, choosing the nights depending on her commitments in school. This is known as Tailored Boarding and encourages girls to get the best out of school and home life, while maintaining a stable core within the boarding community.

A weekly bus service to and from Central London departs from St George’s on Friday after school and returns to school on Sunday evening, allowing London boarders the opportunity to maximise time at home with their families over the weekend.

Day pupils can flexi board at a charge of £69.50 per night when there is accommodation available.

This is a good opportunity for girls to ease into the boarding experience, often choosing to stay one or two nights a week or when parents are away, or if they have late evening commitments. Often girls build up the number of boarding nights as they move up through the School in readiness to become a tailored (weekly) boarder.

For more information about full, tailored and flexi boarding, please contact the Admissions Team: admissions@stgeorges-ascot.org.uk

WEEKENDS

07/09/2023 14:40

St George’s prides itself on the excellent range of activities on offer for the boarders in the evening and at weekends.

We aim to make the activities challenging and fun and to include important cultural experiences as well as informal days out and time to relax with friends after a busy week.

EVENING AND WEEKEND ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: A range of sporting activities, such as use of the school fitness suite and swimming pool, horse riding lessons, sports fixtures, arts and crafts led by our Artist in Residence as well as cookery.

Additional prep time is also available for older girls.

External trips and activities take place every weekend in addition to sports fixtures. Each term your daughter may have the opportunity to take part in activities such as trips to the theatre, a water park, trampolining, laser quest or an escape room, to theme parks such as Thorpe Park or London Zoo, or to enjoy dance workshops, cinema trips, festive shopping or visits to the beach. We run a programme of social events and activities with Harrow School, Eton College and other local boys prep schools.

There are three key entry points to St George’s. We take two classes in Year 7 (11+), and an additional class in Year 9 (13+).

The next main intake is at Sixth Form (16+). Girls may also join at other times subject to places being available.

We pride ourselves on taking a personalised approach when hosting open events at St George’s and recognise that there are so many aspects to consider when looking for the ‘right’ school. We, therefore, host a number of select Open Events per term to allow you the opportunity to get to know us properly and have your questions fully answered.

Termly Education Taster Days are very informal occasions and are an excellent way for your daughter to become familiar with the School, staff and other girls applying for a place. Each Education Taster Day has a different theme run by an academic department in the School, enabling you to choose the subjects that will most appeal to your daughter. Please check the Admissions page on the website for details of the next Education Taster Day. If you have any questions please contact Admissions: admissions@stgeorges-ascot.org.uk and one of the team will be very happy to guide you through the Admissions process.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Further Information Booklet 2024 entry_single pages.indd 36

07/09/2023 14:41

Scholarships are designed to reward excellence and to celebrate exceptional talent.

In recognition of their ability and achievement and in light of the value they are expected to bring to school life, Scholars are offered a reduction in the tuition fees. Details of the arrangements will be sent to all who express an interest.

Scholarships are conditional on a girl’s satisfactory conduct and contribution to the school.

Scholarships are worth up to 10% of tuition fees. In exceptional cases, an Exhibition worth up to 5% of tuition fees may be awarded to girls with talent in one or more of the areas outlined below.

We encourage parents of Scholars who anticipate that they will experience difficulty in meeting the balance of the tuition fees to apply at the same time for one of the school’s means-tested bursaries (overleaf) when they register their daughter.

Scholarships are available at 11+, 13+ and 16+.

For more information please refer to the website www.stgeorges-ascot.org.uk or contact Admissions: admissions@stgeorges-ascot.org.uk

St George’s is committed to broadening access by offering means-tested bursaries.

A limited number of bursaries (up to 100% of the tuition fees) are available to support girls who would benefit from a St George’s education but whose parents are not able to afford the fees in whole, or part, subject to availability of funds.

All applications for bursaries are considered on the basis of individual circumstances and are meanstested. Owing to the limited funds available to the school, not every application for a bursary will be successful. Bursaries can be applied for in addition to a scholarship, or on their own.

Bursary assessments are independent of the admissions process and an offer of a bursary should not be considered an indication about any offer of a place. The Bursary application deadline for September 2024 entry is Thursday 12 October 2023.
